Cadmac Scales Software Distribution with Thales Sentinel

The Industrial Sheet Metal Design Company Automated Licensing and Offers Subscriptions

Cadmac Co., Ltd. develops CAD/CAM solutions in Tokyo for the sheet metal industry, largely focused on industrial automation companies. Established in 1993, their software portfolio—MACsheet BBX, TouchPocket, and DataPocket—allows small and mid-sized manufacturers to cut or bend sheet metal according to 2D and 3D design options. Distributing to 3,000 customers through fifty partners as well as direct business, Cadmac has established a strong position in their specialized manufacturing niche.

Sentinel Business Benefits:

  • Direct license delivery, leading to improved customer satisfaction

  • Subscription packaging flexibility, including readiness for subscriptions through free trials

  • Eliminated manual processes, and streamlined internal operations

  • User visibility and control over license activation and usage

Cadmac replaced a manual, restrictive licensing approach with a flexible, scalable system using Thales Sentinel. This transformation improved operational efficiency and allowed the company to adapt to market demands as often as required. The company is now poised to expand software monetization while continuing to serve the specialized needs of sheet metal manufacturers.
